What I liked

Most particularly the performance and her really wonderful talents as an actress. I enjoyed the different traditions and myths she chose to represent with the stories as well.

What I didn't like

It took a while to get started — the intro with the Bone Woman is a bit slow and could jump into the ghost stories more quickly.

My overall impression

This was a true Fringe experience — I happened upon it when I had an hour to kill and decided to give it a chance. Boy am I glad I did — it was a fantastic performance from the lead actress. Her ability to transition between four different characters was seamless and impressive. I found her utterly believable in each role as she so fully became the new person whose story she was telling. It’s rare to find an actress who can make these shifts so quickly and believably that you really feel she’s become someone completely new each time. The storytelling is fun and intriguing as well — it grips you and holds you.
